Check out this great write-up from Ben Nuttall. While preparing for a workshop last week, my colleague Marc and I started brainstorming ideas. One of the ideas I came up with was to use the mini joystick on a Sense HAT (a sensor board add-on for the Raspberry Pi) to remotely control a robot using […]

Nice build and tutorial from Instructables user otterbot. A friend gave me one of Adafruit’s circuit playgrounds (developer edition) to use, and I wanted to see would it make a good robot controller. The circuit playground is packed full of features like sensors, neo-pixels and even an accelerometer. I wanted to add a L9110 motor […]

Thanks for sending this blog tip in Anat! Anat says “The light painting line follower looks like just a regular line follower but we used a really cool technique that allows us to “paint” using the light emitted from a strip of LEDs that’s placed on top of the line follower. In the post about […]

Testing my #arduino and #RaspberryPi #robots new #speechrecognition. I’m teaching him some #startrek lines too. pic.twitter.com/moFZI1M5eu — Henry (@Romulan_Ale) July 25, 2017 Fun project video from Twitter user @Romulan_Ale. Each Friday is PiDay here at Adafruit! Be sure to check out our posts, tutorials and new Raspberry Pi related products. Adafruit has the largest and […]

Basically it’s a water-drone for pipe systems! You can see the battery power & ground wires in the photo below – and I’m looking elsewhere online to try and find what else is inside the ‘bot. PipeGuard is a robotics system capable of finding any leak in a pipe matrix by using pressure sensors and […]

This bot not only has beautiful locomotion, but it is also a great water monitoring device. According to TechCrunch it was created by a team at l’École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland. Apparently this is the same school that created croco creatures for the BBC nature series Spy in the Wild. Envirobot, as it is called, […]

This adorable drone looks like it was ripped right from the movie WALL-E. Int-Ball, created by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, will be used to help monitor the International Space Station. Via Engadget: Astronauts on board the International Space Station have a new robotic companion to play around with. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has […]

One week ago Survival Research Laboratories gave a rare performance of Spine Robot in the Mission District prior to the screening of the XFF documentary about SRL (trailer here). From that gathering on Capp Street here’s a short – and slightly disturbing (in a good way!) – clip of the flatbed-mounted ‘bot that is just […]
